Uniform as part of boudoir shots?

Hi ladies! My fiance is in the AF, I am not military. I am in the process of scheduling my boudoir pics to use as a wedding present for him. The photographer mentioned incorporating things he is interested in, and I immediately thought of the AF, which is obviously a huge part of both our lives. But, would it be disrespectful to pose in his uniform jacket with his name on it? If so, any other ideas of incorporating the military into my pictures?

Re: Uniform as part of boudoir shots?

I know there are a number of people who think it is cute. Frankly, coming from a vet, I think it is extremely disrespectful. You didn't earn it, you shouldn't wear it. My brothers and sisters have died in those uniforms. It's not a prop and it isn't lingerie.

Does he not have any other interests besides his job? Does he have a ball cap he wears all the time? Does he ride a motorcycle? You could wear his leather jacket. Does he have a game day jersey you could wear?

I did a B shoot a few years ago and wore the dress shirt he wore on our wedding day with a pair of black boy shorts and stilettos. He said it was the hottest thing.

One other thing he said after seeing other people's pictures on the internet, he doesn't understand why people feel the need to pose in their husband's uniforms and such. Like he said, most guys want to leave work at work. They don't want to see it on their wives or associate sex with it.

Please don't do this. I agree with TX. Every time I've seen it done, it was just offensive.

I did B-pics for my H, and I bought a tank top that reminded him of work in a cute way without being disrespectful. I just bought a ton of lingerie from F21 (it was cute/sexy/inexpensive) and did 5 looks. It was so much fun, have a good time!
